Abstract
The seismic response of special moment-resisting frames (SMRF), buckling restrained braced (BRB) frames and self-centering energy dissipating (SCED) braced frames is compared when used in building structures many stories in height. The study involves pushover analysis as well as 2D and 3D nonlinear time history analysis for two ground motion hazard levels. The SCED and BRB braced frames generally experienced similar peak interstory drifts. The SMRF system had larger interstory drifts than both braced frames, especially for the shortest structures. The SCED system exhibited a more uniform distribution of the drift demand along the building height and was less prone to the biasing of the response in one direction due to P-Delta effects. The SCED frames also had significantly smaller residual lateral deformations. The two braced frame systems experienced similar interstory drift demand when used in torsional irregular structures.
